专题训练(二)　 动词变化

动词是语法填空题的必考内容，动词的主要考点有时态、语态、语气、非谓语动词、主谓一致等。非谓语动词更是考查热点。在本专题中,我们介绍几个应试技巧，让你在考场上稳操胜券。　

◆技巧点拨

only后接现在分词或不定式都可表示结果，但only doing是一般用语，only to do则表示意想不到的结果。动词、介词后面要求接名词或动名词做宾语，如果所给动词后有宾语，则将所给动词变为动名词，如果所给动词后无宾语，则将所给动词变为名词。

(1)Jack went swimming in the lake,only _______________(have)great fun with his fellows.

(2)Jack hurried to Tom?s home,only _______________(find)Tom was out and the door was locked.

(3)He was good at _______________(persuade)others to give up their ideas.

(4)They just stood there and stared at the stranger in _______________ (amaze).

句(1)单纯表示结果，用having。句(2)的结果是Jack意想不到的，用to find。句(3)的persuade前有介词，后有宾语others，应填入动名词persuading。句(4)前有介词，后无宾语，应填入名词amazement。　

◆活学活用　

(一)用所给动词的适当形式填空。　

1.She turned up the driveway,only _______________(find)her way blocked.　

puters are widely used for _______________(explore),including for _______________(explore)space.
